That makes it very clear!  I believe I recall seeing that in my  
own mailbox tree, but I don't currently.  Checking unopened  
mailboxes is handled by a part of the libmutt code that I've  
never looked at.  It's not yet implemented in 2.1--perhaps the  
cause will show up when implementation begins.

The details would depend on the type of mailbox--in what type do  
you see the problem?
